57: How to actually lower your cortisol: 12 root causes of high cortisol that are rarely talked about
Everyone is talking about how excess cortisol is at the root of so many chronic symptoms. I see IG posts every day that say lowering cortisol will effortlessly make you lose weight, reduce bloating, clear your skin, balance your hormones, etc. And while I do agree that cortisol can drive chronic illness, I think there is a big piece of this discussion that isn’t talked about enough: what is driving the cortisol up in the first place? Hint: it’s so much more than just being mentally “stressed.” In this episode I go into SO much detail around the things that raise cortisol, beyond just the typical emotional stressors and mental overwhelm.
I discuss…
- Aspects of lowering cortisol that are often forgotten about
- Myths around lowering cortisol
- The dangers of lowering cortisol too much
- Signs you have excess cortisol
- How high cortisol impacts your hormones, gut, thyroid, weight, skin, mood, and sleep
- How stress impacts your mitochondria
- Things that raise cortisol that have NOTHING to do with mental/emotional factors
- 12 things that keep your cortisol high
- The most important things to do if you want balanced stress/cortisol levels
- And MORE
